SewUseful Plushie Personal Boom-box / Goodnight Pillow

Step 16 Attaching Personal Boom-box to Goodnight Pillow

Attach the Velcro to the back of the plushie. I use the rough Velcro on the plushie because the soft would be a lot easier to sleep on if I wanted to use the pillow case without the plushie. Sticky Velcro does not need to be sewn to the plushie (image 1)

PLEASE NOTE
If you had the sense not to use sticky Velcro, you will have already attached the Velcro to the plushie.

Lay the plushie over the pillow case in the position you would like it to be attached and using tailors chalk mark where the corresponding soft Velcro and button hole for the wire should be places (image 2)

Use the chalk marks to attach the soft Velcro and as a guide to sew the fourth button hole(image 3)

Since the pillow case will be washed, you need to sew on the Velcro (this is why sticky is a bad idea - it will gunk up your needle.)

***Handy Tip Six***
If you do go ahead and use Sticky Velcro, and you get gunked up - eucalyptus oil on a piece of cotton wool will clean the gunk off. But unless you live in Australia, it is probably easier to find decent Velcro than cleaning grade eucalyptus oil (image 4)
